Description
speeders on a residential road with children. we need a radar gun and camera to take pictures of speeder's license plates and send them a ticket. something has to be done about people racing from pearl to lindeman and vice versa. such an installation would pay for itself.

i have to agree with dee 110% !! the synchronization of lights on washington avenue is horrible! the city might as well put up stop signs!!
you see, anonymous, in order to fix a problem you need to recognize the root of the problem .... not suggest a band aid that is only going to be a temporary fix.
so, my suggestion to you, since you started this post, is contact dpw (phone, email, whatever ...) and express your opinion. if you are not satisfied with your response, then contact the alderman for that ward.
it amazes me that most people that post here do not take the time to make the necessary "first steps." they would much rather vent their complaints here in hopes that someone else will solve THEIR issue for them. the public, if it wants results, needs to take those first steps to solving an issue before they complain about it in this forum. jmo.

I recognize the root of the problem, it's people speeding. It's not the car's fault, or the lights (contact DPW yourself) it's people. People breaking the law in my front yard, or there about.
The equipment is not the issue. NYC had these on queens blvd to catch people going through red lights. Unless they have been struck down (possible) If so, I apologize, but the camera would get the driver behind the wheel and the plate.
If automation is too scary, please get me a SHERIFF supervisor here, so they can patrol for their own (guess who a lot of the speeders are).
Before you ask, no. No lights or siren.
I don't think your name is really Buford, so I'm still anonymous.

Good Morning,
SeeClickFix would like to emphasize the importance of respect when posting comments and issues. While we definitely encourage dialogue among users, we think it's important to emphasize constructive conversation that focuses on the identification, prioritization, and ultimate resolution of issues. Let's move the conversation forward in a respectful manner & let's steer away from unconstructive comments and personal attacks (which may be subject to removal in the future). As always, please don't hesitate to email me at kevin@seeclickfix.com with any concerns, questions, or suggestions
Regards,
Kevin

I totally agree with you, buford. I can understand when someone doesn't want to confront their neighbor, but it truly is amazing how many people air grievances which will never be solved in this forum. When a street light is out, call Central Hudson. If there are potholes or drug dealing, call DPW or the police. If you don't know whom to call, call your representative (alderman, town board member, etc.). And if you don't know who your representative is, SHAME ON YOU!
The one I found the most amusing is when someone complained about the toll hike on the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge. What solution were they hoping for?
Since this post is about speeding, the complainant should call the alderman of the ward and the KPD.

Good Morning,
The point that seems to need clarification is that reporting something on SeeClickFix is a proactive step towards resolving the problem. This is a forum for addressing problems, not just complaining about them.
If you click on 'Where did this report go?' to the right of the screen, you'll see all of the individuals who were notified about issues reported in this area. As you can see, several of the people listed are aldermen, who have the ability to impact things like where police resources are deployed, and other municipal issues. Therefore, they can use the feedback from this site to make real changes.
I just want to help everyone understand what the goal of SeeClickFix is. If you have any questions about this, feel free to email contact@seeclickfix.com.
